About This Service
What Is Key Duplication?
Key duplication is the process of creating a copy of an existing key. The original key is used as a template to cut a new key that operates the same lock. Key duplication is available for a wide range of key types — including standard residential keys, commercial keys, and selected automotive keys. Some keys are restricted and cannot be duplicated without specific authorisation. A professional locksmith will assess your key and advise on whether duplication is possible and what is required.
